Re-issue

Due to its popularity, the success of singles such as "Everything Is Alright" and "Hold Me Down", and all of the footage the band had shot but never released, the band decided to re-issue the album with one bonus track and a DVD featuring music and live videos. The DVD, titled "Hooray For The Madness," features 3 hours of footage, including a documentary on the band, all of their music videos (including a previously unreleased video for the song "L.G. Fuad"), and live footage from a secret show they did at 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis, MN on February 17, 2006. The re-issue also features updated artwork similar to the original release and the bonus track "Invisible Monsters", which was originally released as a Japanese bonus track called "Monsters Invisible".
